The First Rule of Date Night – Don’t Talk About Anything Else But Date Night.

If you’re spending all your time caring for your kids, take date night as an opportunity to reconnect with the non-parental sides of yourselves. If you’ve been slaving at the office, talk about a vacation you’d like to take in the future or an interesting book you’ve either read or hope to read.
